Romney to appear in Lorain County

Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney will appear today in Lorain today at the former National Gypsum Co. plant, the Lorain Morning Journal reports.

Romney, who is virtually assured of winning the GOP nomination, visits the county the day after President Barack Obama appeared Wednesday in Elyria at Lorain County Community College.

The Morning Journal reports that Romney will speak at 12:45 p.m., according to Helen Hurst, chair of the Lorain County Republican Party.
